Guy... Man, I knew I reconised bits of your van! Running stock steels through me tho! Plus I was shattered from work, sorry didn't intentionally ignor you...

No real progress worth writing about, altho I've got to re-do the flooring, my fault, I rushed laying the cards down, didn't allow the solvents to escape properly, this has resulted in a bubbles over time, so ordered another pack of cards and will re-do it next weekend or so...

Thankyou for all the cool comment fellas! Helps keep me motivated!!

was coming back from the MOT so had 'proper' wheels on

also see you last night in the merc in halfords (i was in the MAN dropping an xtrail)

[ray900tap]

haha, yeah I remember the Isis truck at halfords, hey, my turn to your van look cool at your work! as you probably know we borrowed one of the transits...

ok, so... when originally planning out my van I knew I wanted a poptop, searched high and low, even nearly flew to Germany to purchase & drive back a westifila converted van! anyhow, stumbled across a mk3 poptop the other day... it was on ebay, failed mot..
4 days left,already up to £500, but I knew, I WAS WINNING THIS VAN!! haha
I did have a price in mind, but that soon was ignored and, I did win the auction, just a little over a grand, perfect!







now, a complete U turn!... I have no intentions fo restoring or getting the autosleeper back to the road, I'm going to strip it, the U turn being? I'm going to use the entire camper conversion for my van, I'll just ad my own little touches along the way...

so, this means...
No.1 my interior thats just about finished will be up for sale, unit is ready for paint, if.. anyone is interested? and acts quick they can choose the colour included would be the bed (frame all freshly painted, decent cover on the mattress but really be nicer if it was re-trimmed) the cooker, grill and sink unit built and ready to install! and even the fridge at the right price, itself brand new! (their £350 new!)..

No.2 parts off the Mk3 autosleeper 'frisky' will be available, well, everything non camper will be, if that makes sense haha

cheers again

WOW That's quite an investment for parts!
But for all that you'll get from it, well worth it

yeah, it's a decent chuck of change for sure, but, as you stated way worth it, westi poptops alone command up to 500 euros, been doing a little homework on these autosleepers.. turns out their pretty well specked.. haven't got it home yet but I can't wait
